Normally neither will come with a balancer. Performance engines might if they were balanced that way

The VCCA is a good bunch of people with quite a few members. They have a monthly magazine called the Generator Distributor which has some good articles, a list of tech advisors & a classified section. I think you would have to join to see their judging criteria, They are probably geared for the older cars but I do see articles once in a while that pertain to Camaros. They would probably welcome facts & articles about Camaros. They will be holding a show in July of 2011 at Flint. It's the 50yr aniversery of the VCCA & the 100yr with Chevrolet. It's open to all Chevrolets. The club is setting up some tours with the Chevrolet people. It should be a blast. The club is worth the little amount that the charge.......Joe

General Discussion / Finding the cars on the orphan list
« on: August 05, 2010, 05:28:19 PM »
Vehicles that have been registered within the last 7 years should be in MVD's records. Is there no way to find out if the car for orphans listed still exist?....Joe

There's still quite a few of these cars around that we can come up with information about changes by asking questions & researching remaining cars. In most cases people want to give the correct information about their car even if it's been changed from original. I see your zed is Canadian. Older cars like a Canadian 1934 Chevrolet sedan delivery I have are next to impossible to find anybody to talk to you about. I like the research the site has performed & with continued support we'll know even more than the GM people who built the cars......Probably do now......Joe

hi Randy
The evidence I have is partly my own car that I've owned for 34 years now. I have all original sheet metal on the car & the fenders have never been redrilled or filled. I've restored it twice since I've owned it. It had original paint when I purchased it in 1976. It's 332262. The car that was built 15 cars prior to mine has z/28 emblems. Same thing, no redrill. Car still has original paint. Pauls rally green cars has 302 emblems approx 800 cars prior. In the assm manual those emblems were changed Feb 13th or 14th. I can't remember for sure. Both plants would've recieved these orders. Norwood may have sat on them for an extra week or so, or that guy was on vacation or they had extra emblems. The guess work could go on forever. Jerry McNeish has narrowed Norwood down to approx 03a or 03B I believe. If I could find a couple more cars from that week I could probably make an educated guess about LA.

Originality / L. A. built 1968 z/28
« on: July 26, 2010, 03:00:47 PM »
I'm doing some research on L.A. built 68 z/28s built 02E. I have strong indications that L.A. changed from 302 fender emblems to z/28 emblems during the 5th week of February. I've spoke to Paul with the Rally green (302 emblems) car in Canada & his is approx 800 cars earlier than 2 others that I know of. Those 2 left the LA assm plant with z/28 emblems. I would like to hear from other 02E LA car owners to hear what their cars had when they left LA. Thanks, Joe

I sent you some pictures. They're 45-3/4" back. They're almost centerline with the door lock. That might've been their intensions. It might be different depending on who installed them at the factory. There is also about a 1/4" that curls around the front edge of the door. You would'nt want to see color there if you were looking at the car from different angles......Joe

I have the outer skin of a 68 ss/rs door that still has the stripe on it.
I'll dig it out over the weekend & see what I can tell you. Could you send me a reminder e-mail at
jiaccino@cox.net please? Joe

What's different for sure is the door regulator. 67 is by itself. 68/69 is the same...Joe

I looked at my last evening & it has that wild bend like the picture. That bend also might be there so the hose(s) can be put back into the bracket on the motor mount pedistal inside by the oil pan. Mine matched the original when it was replaced...Joe
